Bean is 6 months

My little Bean is 6 months old, AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Half way through his first year, wow, time is flying. I know, I am a broken record. He looks less like a baby and more like a big boy everyday.

He is so alert and active now. I just love this age. When he hears my voice he totally turns to me and starts laughing. When he is upset all I have to do is sing a song to him and he calms down. Bean can now sit up perfectly all by himself.

He is still the happiest baby you'll meet. He spends his days laughing and smiling. He smiles at everyone particularly his brothers when they do things to keep him entertained. He has the best giggle and the most infectious smile.

Bean is now a very talkative baby, he makes so much noise we know his vocal cords are working. He definitely is my child :). He has such beautiful brown eyes my boy.

He drools like crazy and is always chewing on things. I guess we have more teeth coming very soon.

We survived 6 months of exclusively breastfeeding. YAY. I despise pumping because it's such a job but I love breastfeeding. Since I am a full time working mom you can't really have one without the other. Bean is my best nurser, I mean look at those cheeks :).

He was 20lbs 4oz of healthy happy baby. I am one happy mama. I am looking forward to introducing solid food to him hopefully in a few days. I hope we can continue this breastfeeding relationship until he is one like I did with his brothers.

At this point he was probably done with pictures, doesn't that face say it all

I had to take all 3 boys to the Dr this time around for Jbird's 2-year appointment, Bean 6-month appointment, and Tman's 4-year bloodwork. That was a crazy idea. I did bring hubby's mom along for help but man was it a crazy visit

Tman being his sweet self and giving grandma kisses

Tman took this pic of us, he clearly takes after his mom :)

And a picture of all of us as you know it's my favorite thing to do. I am truly blessed to have a lot of family support with these kids.

Look who is finally on our walls :). I was so giddy with excitement when these beautiful canvas pieces showed up. They are now up on the wall and Bean is finally represented in our family. Can't wait to update the family pictures too.

Happy 6 months beanie baby. I can't believe it's been 6 months since you joined our family, it feels like you've been around so much longer. Life is so much sweeter with you in it.
